Fifty Plus is different from the other forums here in that we are allowed to discuss pretty much any topic because the members are considered mature enough to do so without getting carried away.

You will never get me to admit that I'm really Elvis Presley. My older brother, Jimmy Hoffa, and I ride together a lot.

Well, I understand your position, and I disagree with it. On line information is too easily an access point for criminals. I don't post real name, real street address or any other information that could lead someone to my home after learning more about me than I might want them to know. If my behavior is unacceptable on a given forum, the moderators will take me to task. There have been people ban for unacceptable behavior, and I would expect nothing less. My experience has been that idiots will act like idiots with or without real names.
Just one other comment. I really hope government keeps its nose out of the INTERNET. It's one of the last places of unfettered free speech. If I don't like what someone is saying, I don't have to read it, I can even put folks on my filtered list (which I've recently done). I assume others will do the same with me if I get too annoying.
Oh, and I wanted to add that I only participate in moderated forums. Moderators have a tough job, but they maintain the stability of any given public forum.
